Trust me, there is a lot of help out there guys. If you feel you are at risk, for your own sake and that of your loved ones, please seek it out.

If you see someone who needs help, don’t wait for them to reach out to you. Go to them.

Oh my hell, best wishes to Snyder’s family. This is absolutely heartbreaking.

What, was she a Trekkie or something?
